Im tired of issues. I go for deep woods fishing trips and would rather rely on a more manual,basic setup for an engine\/tranny as its too risky to get stuck 100 miles in somewhere. Even if i have to replace the engine an tranny. Or should i just look for a pre 1990 4&#215;4 like a jeep or chevy s10 to fix up? Any help is appreciated. Just dont wanna have to buy a new vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2001 engine requires the computer. It would be easier to just buy what it is you need\/want instead of trying to turn what you have into something it isn&#8217;t going to be. My thoughts on the matter anyway.
